Smithsonian Magazine Subscription

Smithsonian Magazine is the most reliable source for information about history, travel, the arts, science and technology, and important people and places. The magazine, published by renowned museum group The Smithsonian Institution, is dedicated to keeping its readers informed and connected with everything that is going on in the world.

Readers of Smithsonian Magazine never miss a scientific or technological breakthrough. Its reputation for hiring only the best writers ensures that there will be someone with knowledge and experience at every important discovery. For example, one recent article explores one man who flew across America without using a single drop of fuel- he did it using solar power. Smithsonian Magazine even features articles on breakthroughs of the past, allowing its readers to understand and appreciate the people who make our society possible today. Another recent article allows us to hear what Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, sounded like. Researchers for the magazine actually obtained and enhanced tapes from the first telephone calls that were ever made.

Those more interested in historical events than they are in technological breakthroughs will find plenty to read in Smithsonian Magazine. One recent entry chronicles The Battle of Bunker Hill, one of the major battles of the American Revolutionary War. Not much is understood about the battle in relation to others that were fought at the time, but the Smithsonian article explores the events with maps, firsthand accounts, and more.

Review Title: Smithsonian MagazineReviewed by: Booklady

Smithsonian Magazine is an outstanding publication. As a long time subscriber, I thoroughly enjoy the wide range of topics as well as its writing style. Truly in a class by itself!

Review Title: SmithsonianReviewed by: Weas27

If you like history, science, anthropology/archaeology, nature and the very best of both classical and popular culture, Smithsonian is a one-stop magazine!

Review Title: Long time MemberReviewed by: Liz

This magazine has been my favorite source of reading since I learned of it in the early 1970s.All the articles are worth reading and every article is positive; never depressing.

Review Title: SmithsonianReviewed by: Jeanne

This is my favorite magazine -- I've been subscribing for years. Every issue has a science-based article, an art-based article, and other articles of general interest; and articles are well-written but not preachy -- they don't make a reader feel stupid. I've learned so much reading Smithsonian!

It's great to learn about our world!

Review Title: The best bang for the buckReviewed by: SF

Smithsonian is a great read. There's something for everyone. I love the breadth of interests represented. They've got something for everyone. The writing is beautiful and I feel like I've been taken on a few journeys with every issue. It also has an online version and large print for those who need that. I like the non-digital form - love having it to read when I've got down time. It's well worth the subscription.

Review Title: Great ReadReviewed by: Equick

I was given a subscription to Smithsonian and enjoyed it so much that I gave it as a gift to other friends and family. The variety of articles makes it a gift for people of varied interests. Science, history and social interests articles that are appropriate for my daughter to read with her 7 yr old son.
